Asian Undergraduate Symposium 2024

The Asian Undergraduate Symposium (AUS) is a two-week programme organised by NUS College (NUSC) that brings together undergraduates from Singapore, Asian regions, with a special focus on ASEAN participants, for cultural exchange, networking, and capacity development. AUS 2024 will be co-organised with NUS Global Relations Office (GRO) as the NUS-AUN Summer Programme 2024.

Participants will engage with domain experts, be trained in project proposal writing, and nudged to collaborate with each other to propose projects based upon one of their chosen problem statements guided by the theme of the AUS symposium. The theme of AUS 2024 is Interconnected Communities.

Initiated in 2015, AUS aimed to build a platform for undergraduates across Asia from various disciplines to come together and engage in meaningful academic and intercultural exchange.

Now as part of the NUS-AUN Summer Programme, AUS in 2024 evolves to the current model which now includes more than 300 participants: NUSC undergraduates, tertiary students from Singapore, undergraduates from the Asian University Network (AUN), undergraduates from other ASEAN states and also participants from China, India, Japan and Korea. AUS 2024 takes the original AUS forward by both ensuring that meaningful academic and intercultural exchange remain while establishing a focused catchment of participants who are empowered to actualise proposed solutions to real-world problems.
